3 kinetik batteries dodge charger

[billystorms24 1]

Hey guys ok my situation is this i have replace my stock battery with a kinetik 2400 and i also have a 800 my lights still dim badly i am running a hifoniks brutus bxi 2608 im running the full 2600 on 1 ohm on my cascade designs omega 15. Since i have a dodge charger my batterys are in the trunk only and the stock cable going to the battery form the alt is i believe 2 awg i forget. my alt is 140 amps. and the cable going batt to batt is 1/0 and the ground is 1/0. my idea is this i will mount another kinetik hc800 under my hood right by the alternator and run 1/0 to it from the alt +. then run 1/0 off the + of the battery to the 2 batteries in the trunk will this solve my horrible dimming? thnaks guys

You should check all the "Big Three" wires. If there not 1/0g then change them to it. That may solve the problem . but you are drawing alot of current(at least 200 amps) exspecially using that hifonics amp. So the extra battery is probably needed anyways.

More like a new alternator is needed.

You can't solve a current draw problem on new wires and batteries alone.

Wow what a smart ass I did google it and in many ways thanks for the help. I gutantee you can't find a ho alt for a 2007 dodge charger and I'm not talking about the srt alt that's not powerful enough..

Yep np theres some other sites i know of that might have them but im not sure.

Im pretty sure you can grab a HO alt from any engine thats from the same manufacturer IE - 5.7L ram engine into a 5.7L charger and it will work. You just might need to make a new bracket for it.

the 300 and magnum use the same alternators as the charger.

NOT TRUE!!! I've got a Magnum with the 5.7L and i've been to every LX body forum/charger/magnum/300 forums and there is not an answer for us yet. Unfortunately the vehicles ECU controls the alternator output and adjusts only for temperature. You can bolt a 300A alt on there but the computer will only allow it to pump out what the computer tells it to. Many companies have ALLEGEDLY come up with a solution....but I haven't been able to verify that. I've been searching for about a year now...lol If you figure something out, you let ME know.
